What our customers are saying

Kim Bishop - Stamford

We hired a skip at short notice, the customer service was amazing from Tara. She went out of her way to find what we needed, and went over and above what we could have expected!

Gillian Patterson - Leeds

I was looking for a company to hire a skip from. I went through Google and phoned half a dozen companies. It wasn’t just about price, but availability too. On top of which I got a second week which really helped ,as both my husband and myself are disabled and was clearing out some cupboards and renovating some rooms. The lady I spoke to was helpful and spoke very nicely. It’s definitely a company I would use again and have already recommended.

Colin Pogson - Peterborough

Called TWBC as I was struggling to get the skip I wanted when I needed it from my usual supplier. They were great, sorted what I wanted for when I needed it and it was even a slightly better price than my usual supplier. Nice friendly people on the phone who confirmed everything and answered any questions. Will start to call them first in the future. Very happy customer.

Skip Hire Stevenage Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for skip hire in Stevenage?

You need a permit to place a skip on any public road in Stevenage. These are issued by Stevenage Borough Council. Skips on private driveways don't require permits. We sort out the paperwork with the council, which normally takes 2-3 working days to process. Areas near Stevenage town centre often have parking restrictions that affect where skips can be placed. Some residential streets in Shephall and Symonds Green have specific placement rules due to narrow roads.

What waste can't go in my skip?

Several materials are not allowed in standard skips. These include asbestos, electrical items, batteries, tyres, gas bottles, paint tins, fluorescent tubes and medical waste. Most household items, garden waste, furniture and building rubble are fine. We've noticed Stevenage residents often try to dispose of old electronics in skips - these need separate disposal through the Stevenage Recycling Centre on Caxton Way. Putting prohibited items in your skip might delay collection and add extra costs for proper disposal.

What skip size suits a house clearance?

Most house clearances in Stevenage need an 8-yard skip, which fits about 75-85 bin bags of waste. For the newer properties around Great Ashby with larger gardens, a 12-yard skip often works better. Terraced houses near the Old Town usually need just a 6-yard skip. Heavy materials like bathroom tiles or kitchen worktops take up less space but add weight quickly. Mention what you're throwing away when you call - garden waste takes more room than you might expect.

How long can I keep a skip?

Our normal hire period is 14 days. If your project takes longer, ring us to extend the hire. Most Stevenage customers keep skips for about 10 days. We collect the skip on day 14 unless you call to arrange an earlier pickup. For weekend garden clearances or DIY jobs, we can deliver on Friday and collect on Monday at no extra charge. Skips for kitchen fitting jobs in Stevenage typically stay for a full fortnight as plumbing and electrics often cause delays.

Are there access issues for skip delivery in Stevenage?

Our lorries need about 3 metres width to deliver skips safely. The cul-de-sacs around Symonds Green and parts of Chells have tight access, so we might need to use smaller vehicles. Houses with sloped driveways, common in Poplars and Great Ashby, sometimes need skips placed at the kerb instead. Let us know if your property has a narrow entrance or overhanging trees. Heavy rain can affect delivery to unmade roads near Walkern and Aston. If access is very limited, our man and van service might work better than a skip.
